Basiclly, ever since i was about 12 I promised myself that I would move to whistler for about a year and just ski. I'm gonna finish college this May and so i wanna head out soon afterwards, around september. But the only plan i really have is to get a job as a waiter (i have experience in that), work the night life, and ski that day. So what i'm asking for is some advice or heads up on how i should survive out there, when i should leave, how much money i need,places were i can stay, etc. Thanks alot!

No thank you. We've exceeded our quota already.

... Actually it's fine, most of the OTT kids is good people. But if you say one fucking thing about the Senators someone's going to end you.

The Sens are way better than the Leafs will ever be.



I've opened Pandora's box, hahaha.

Ya dude... definately come early and with money to live off for a while. Because you will either have a job and get no work for a while until it gets busy. Or not have a job at all and then get one when it gets busy.

Might I also suggest turning into a girl... that improves you chances for a job/place to live by 10 times.

November is too late if you want to live in staff. I came november the 10th and I was like number 156 on the staff waitlist. If you can, get a job before you even arrive. They do recruitment drives, I met a dude from whistler back at the ski show in toronto last year. But the whole key, the earlier the better.

Whistlers played, it's all about timing and in a two years i'll be making about $60 an hour, and living somewhere else spending my vacations skiing powder in Utah, or heli skiing in the interior, I'm not too worried about whistler anymore...

Don't speak to the jacket in that disrespectful manner. He is a legend, if not a local one, and his glory days will last as long as we tell his story. And I intend to keep preaching.

Plus he's doing some sick stuff out east I hear, still going strong.
